Lee Yulsan, the sect leader of the Wind and Thunder Clan, was a cold-hearted man.
It was he who predicted the demand of mercenaries, established the mercenary guild in Dazhou, and developed it to where it is today.
While he was also strong in martial arts, what made him stand out more than anything else was his cool-headed brain that can read and predict the flow of the time.
Before he became the sect leader, the Wind and Thunder Clan was just a loser in a small area called Dazhou. Since its influence was insignificant, they cannot even be compared with the other sects that ruled Sichuan
Lee Yulsan wanted to break the limits of his sect.
So he came up with the mercenary guild.
He intended to expand the influence of Wind and Thunder Clan by creating a mercenary guild in Dazhou.
His gamble was right.
By systematically managing the mercenaries and connecting them to the merchant or escort groups where they are needed, the Wind and Thunder Clan manage to earn enormous wealth, and exert great influence not only on Dazhou but also on the surrounding areas.
While they were still far from the other sects in Sichuan Jianghu, they still managed to create a meaningful foothold where they could challenge them in the next few decades.
It was already dinner time, but Lee Yulsan forgot to eat and was reading a booklet containing the trends of the mercenary guild.
Information such as who hired a mercenary and how much they paid for were all detailed in this booklet.
Just by looking at this booklet, he could see not only the trends of the mercenary guild, but also the trends of merchant companies and escort groups going in and out of Sichuan. For that reason, the Wind and Thunder Clan updated the information in the booklet once a month and treated it like a treasure. s o u n d l e s s w i n d 2 1 . c o m
Bang!
“Sect leader! Something has happened!”
Someone slammed the door open and ran inside.
The man with the goatee was Steward Yu, who oversaw the management of the mercenary guild in the Wind and Thunder Clan.
Lee Yulsan frowned and looked at Steward Yu.
“What’s going on? I told you not to disturb me at this hour.”
“It’s a big deal! Our men are dying right now in the West Wind Guest House!”
“Isn’t our mercenary guild a short distance from the West Wind Guest House? Are the mercenaries making a fuss again?”
“No, it’s not our mercenary–
Steward Yu was unable to continue his words and stuttered.
With a contemplative look on his face, Lee Yulsan felt like the situation was more serious than he had expected.
Lee Yulsan stood up as he closed the booklet.
“Gather all the disciples you can mobilize. I’ll go to the West Wind Guest House right now.”
“Yes, sect leader!”
Steward Yu hastily gathered the disciples in the West Wind Guest House. Excluding the disciples who were out for work, as many as five disciples gathered.
With a certain amount of power, anyone can easily overcome any danger.
Lee Yulsan asked,
“How is the situation now?”
“All of the disciples who went to the West Wind Guest House have died.”
“Everyone?”
“Yes! All five are dead.”
“Who’s the attacker?”
“One guy and one kid.”
“Is it just them?”
“Yes! I only found out because a mercenary was nearby the West Wind Guest House. The moment he saw the tragedy, he reported it in a hurry.”
“Hmm… Five people died?”
Lee Yulsan’s expression changed seriously.
It wasn’t just one or two people, but five people were killed without even trying to resist.
This could only mean that the martial arts of the enemy were beyond normal.
But Lee Yulsan didn’t worry about it too much.
Dazhou is the territory of the Wind and Thunder Clan.
He could always get help not only from the warriors of the Wind and Thunder Clan, but also the mercenaries, as well as the usual trade partners such as merchant or escort companies.
With this level of power, he was not afraid even against Jianghu’s large clan.
However, as soon as he opened the door to the West Wind Guest House, Lee Yulsan immediately realized that his mindset was wrong.
He could obviously see a lot of people in the guest house, but he couldn’t hear the sound of anyone breathing out loud.
If Lee Yulsan came in with his subordinates, he would have shown some kind of reaction.
But he did not move. He stayed still like a stone statue.
He observed the expressions of the people in the guest house.
Lee Yulsan could read the horror on their faces.
At least half of the people in the guest house were warriors who had mastered martial arts. These warriors were not the kind who would easily get discouraged wherever they went. They were warriors who would react strongly if they were provoked.
But now, not one of the West Wind Guest House warriors had a rebellious look on their face. They had their heads bowed.
This could only mean one thing.
They were crushed by fear.
“Hoo!”
Lee Yulsan took a deep breath and found the source of the fear that was weighing down on the warriors.
It wasn’t that hard to find the one who controlled the hall.
Only one person was busy using his chopsticks, while everyone couldn’t even lift a finger.
Clattering!
Every time he moved his chopsticks, the plate made a noise.
The hand holding the chopsticks looked unusually white and long, like a woman.
As soon as he checked his face, Lee Yulsan stopped breathing.
It wasn’t just because the person looked more beautiful than a woman.
He wasn’t foolish enough to judge people simply by their looks.
He was surprised because the man’s appearance reminded him of the horror legend that ruled Sichuan.
‘Pyo… wol!’
translated by soundlesswind21
The man who caused the Qingcheng and Emei sect to close their gates. And recently, there also has been an unbelievable story that even the legendary sect of Xizang, the Xiaoleiyin Temple, has been subdued.
Although others do not know, Lee Yulsan, who is in charge of numerous information, has already confirmed through various channels that the legend of Pyo-wol is not false.
Even if everything was hard to believe, all the stories about Pyo-wol were true.
Some of the warriors in Chengdu had also secretly contacted Lee Yulsan.
If you meet a man who is more beautiful than a woman in Sichuan, be careful.
He is the one who brings death.
From the moment he deduced the fact that the man in front of him was Pyo-wol, Lee Yulsan’s fingers convulsed.
Regardless of his will.
A little boy was sitting next to Pyo-wol.
The moment he saw the baggy clothes, and the seven rings hanging around his neck, Lee Yulsan was sure that his guess was correct.
At the little boy’s feet were his five men.
It was clear that those five had already died, considering that there was no up and down movement in their chest.
Even if he didn’t see it with my own eyes, he realized what happened.
‘These garbage…’
Those who became corpses were famous for raping women even in the Wind and Thunder Clan. They have caused several problems so far. And yet, they were let go because they knew how to deal effectively with the mercenaries.
He thought they would cause a big problem someday, but he didn’t know they would cause such a big accident.
He regretted the fact that he didn’t pull the reins on his subordinates properly especially when Pyo-wol was in their territory.
‘If he really is the reaper, then I should not show any resistance.’
Lee Yulsan swallowed dry saliva.
At that moment, Soma, who was sitting on a chair, playfully stomped his feet and opened his mouth.
